Taste of Maryland at the National Harbor
http://www.nationalharbor.com/

I covered the Taste of Maryland at the relatively new National Harbor last month. The event was somewhat of a disappointment. The admission price and tickets were expensive, the ticket booth was disorganized, and there were only a handful of food venders that came out.

The National Harbor, however, is beautiful. And although it's located at the end of the earth (Exit 1 or 2 off 495), it's worth checking out if you have some free time. Several new restaurants have just opened their doors at the Harbor, including Rosa Mexicano, Old Hickory Steakhouse, and Sauciety. According to their website, more restaurants are coming soon.

Hopefully the Taste of Maryland will be more exciting and go a little more smoothly next year, after all the new dining establishments have settled in.
